Description

Strategic Intelligence: Telecom Services Sector Scorecard Q1 2025 Update

Summary

SK Telecom retains its position on the top of the thematic rankings for GlobalData’s telecom services sector scorecard. Its scores of 5 out of 5 for the 5G and digitalization themes, which suggests that the company’s activity in these themes will significantly improve its future performance, keep it ahead of European giants Telefónica, Orange, and Deutsche Telekom, each of which score 4 out of 5 for these two themes.

Telecom carriers continue to roll out mobile and fiber infrastructure to support their ever-widening range of services, leading to supply-side consolidation and changing investment and ownership structures. At the same time, carriers seek value-added services to expand their margins and target efficiency by digitizing, virtualizing, and cloudifying their networks and associated services and applications. They increasingly exploit artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize performance, propositions, and customer service.

These operational challenges are surrounded by a wide range of external factors, from regulatory constraints and interference, data sovereignty compliance, evolving global supply chains and restrictions, constant cybersecurity threats, investor demands for better returns, the impact of AI, ongoing commitments to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets, and demanding customers.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
